To @ZZ inizio-m, t'fmajz/ ciotcec/jlilf`l 5' f Y Be it AknownA thatfI,lV'yriL'riiAii ljLinizis; a citizen of the United States, residing atGallatin, Iin the lcounty ofSii'innei and State f a burner of thischaracter constructedsov as to burnlrerosene or 'crude Voil byconye'rting it into Vapor, also providing for the .adinixture of heatedair. with such -vapor for coni-'fV plete comhustion'thereof to obtain aflamev of maximum calorific value. i i

mother object is to VVprovide for'such complete combustion as Willavoidthe lexha-4 lation of odor from the burner and the foi'- mation ofcarbon thereini.

lVththe foregoingV and other obj ectsiii View which will appear as thecescription Y* proceeds, the invention resides in the combif nation andarrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafterdescribed and clainiedi, itv being understood that changes in theprecise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed may be made Withinthe scope'of what is claimed Without departing frointhespirit of theinvention. In the accompanying drawings Figure l represents a top planView of a burner constructed in accordance with this invention anddesigned for use in a heating stove, and Y Y Fig. 2 is a transversesection thereof taken on the line 2*2 of Fig. l.

In the enibo'diinentnillustrated, `the burner constituting thisinvention Which is designed to be placed in the fire box of 'af stoveand preferably to rest on ,the grate thereof coinprises a pan or tray l,which may be of any desired configuration, being here shown circular andwhich has an upstanding periph eral flange 2. Y Y i This pan `1 isprovided at diametrically opposite points with 4openings k3 and 4 aroundWhich are arranged upstanding collars V5 with peripheral shoulders 6 0ntheir inner faces at points spaced from the tops thereof `to form seatsto support the ends 8 of a manifold 9. f
